How Old Is Hebron's Housing Stock?
Housing age data helps assess potential lead pipe and infrastructure risks. Newer housing stock generally means lower plumbing-related contamination risk.

Housing Age Profile
Whether your home in Hebron was built before or after 1986 matters more than the citywide median of 1992, because the 1986 federal lead restrictions cover plumbing installed after that point.
Most homes in Hebron were built after 1986; lead exposure at a tap still depends on its service line and plumbing. Older homes should still be tested.

Protecting Children from Lead in Hebron
Why children are most at risk: The CDC states that no safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Children under 6 absorb lead more readily than adults, and even low levels can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, and behavioral problems.
Several steps can clarify lead exposure for a Hebron household. The area figure, an average of ZIP-level 90th-percentile results, is 0.010 mg/L or higher, and the pre-1986 share of local homes is about 24%. The water utility's lead service line inventory shows how a home's service line is classified, a certified laboratory test measures lead at the tap, and a filter certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead reduction is an option where results show lead.
1 ZIP code (100% of the city's ZIP records) is served by a water system whose 90th-percentile lead result exceeds the EPA action level of 0.015 mg/L.
